Public Painting Project
Winter 2005
Intro
In winter 2005 I did a public painting project in which I set-up my easel in various locations around campus and painted for about three hours at a time. My interests were to see what the public thinks of this activity and to see how it would affect me and what I could learn from my interactions with different demographics of viewers.
